Chapter 533 The Nameless Knight
"What is this…" Dark Phoenix quickly flew into the air just to be safe as he felt strong vibrations coming from the statue as the stone swords began to crumble. And seeing the eyes of the statue glowing dark purple, he maintained a safe distance in the air, away from the statue.
Death Queen was also distracted by what was happening as she lowered her blade and saw how it seemed like the statue was coming alive.
*Craaakkk!*
The stone swords completely crumbled as two longswords, shining with a dark purple light, revealed themselves.
"The Divine Voidbringers!" Dark Phoenix mumbled in a tone of disbelief, and the rest of them were equally shocked as well.
But before anybody could even blink, the two mythical swords suddenly shot down, right towards the corpse of Viktor.
Dark Phoenix and everyone else looked on without moving a single inch as everything was happening too fast.
Just as the two longswords were about to reach his corpse, they rotated in the air by themselves when suddenly Viktor's hands grabbed their hilts.
*BOOOOM!*
The moment he did, a booming flash of dark purple light struck him from the skies, leaving a giant hole in the roof of the mountain.
And what followed it was thunderous shockwaves that spread in every direction, blasting away even Dark Phoenix.
"Earrgh!" Dark Phoenix shielded himself with his arm from the blinding purple light and the shockwaves. He tried to resist and contain the shockwaves since Death Queen couldn't defend herself, and based on his orders, he couldn't let anything happen to her.
But no matter how much he resisted, he was blown away and crashed against the wall before falling down.
Since he was the nearest to the statue, he took on most of the brunt of the shockwaves.
Still, as the rest of the shockwaves spread farther, Death Queen was blown away as well, but surprisingly, Umilia, Aelita, and her people weren't affected by these shockwaves.
Death Queen crashed against a stone and collapsed, rendering her barely conscious while blood trickled down her lips.
Aelita and her father were too shocked by the sight before them to even pay attention to Death Queen getting blown away nor wonder why they weren't affected by these shockwaves.
Their eyes were wide open as they saw the column of dark purple light slowly fading away and revealing a strong pair of hands holding two dark purple longswords with mystical black engravings on them.
A curtain of dark purple light flowed from the swords and towards his hands as black metallic bits of armor manifested in the air before wrapping around his hands and towards the rest of his body.
When the curtain of dark purple light passed over his body completely, what remained was a seven feet tall, hulking figure clad in heavy, glossy black armor with a dark purple tint. The metallic armor covered every inch of his body, and a dark purple velvet wrapped over his metal helmet and back to serve as a hood with a cloak. And behind the visors of his devilish helmet, dark purple light was flaring from his eyes.
His entire being commanded an imposing pressure in the temple, and just by looking at his dark purple eyes, one would feel their spine rattle from the chills.
"The Voidborn has come to save us…The prophecy has come true…" Chief Tamo mumbled as his pupils shook in shock and reverence.
Aelita had her eyes filled with awe and worship as his mighty figure reflected in her eyes. Her lips slowly arched into a relieved and overwhelmed smile as hope filled her soul. She was glad that her initial guess about Viktor wasn't wrong. But she never expected him to be the actual incarnation of the Nameless Knight.
Umilia didn't know whether to be shocked or not. She had managed to pull herself up and rest against a rock while feeling overwhelmed by what she was seeing.
She knew Viktor had some connection to this place since he knew the native language. But she never expected him to be their god. The more she knew about him, the more she couldn't fathom what kind of origins he had.
She knew he had divine blood in his veins, but his usual mortal self only contradicted it, and she couldn't make sense of things. But she was glad that he was the Nameless Knight. She felt even more proud of him.
"Yargh!" Dark Phoenix let out a loud grunt as he blasted away the debris that was on top of him and stood up.
However, the moment he saw this intimidating, dark purple figure with two divine swords in his hands, Dark Phoenix took a step back unconsciously, "Nameless Knight? Impossible…"
Still, there was no way out of this without a fight. He still had the Void Ring on his finger and conjured a curtain of dark silver flames and launched it toward the Nameless Knight.
The Nameless Knight simply stood there with an unmoving stare as the large wave of dark silver flames crashed down on him while scorching everything in its path. If he had unleashed this attack in the middle of a city, it would have turned everything into ashes in a 10 miles radius.
Dark Phoenix breathed heavily as he eagerly looked on, but his posture fell upon seeing the Nameless Knight still standing in the same place without even his armor getting scorched. It was as if he threw a bucket of water at him.
The only option left was to…flee! Dark Phoenix immediately turned around to fly away, but his figure staggered when the Nameless Knight was suddenly standing in front of him, his menacing gaze staring at his soul.
Before Dark Phoenix could even put up his hands to defend himself, he felt a cold yet chilling sensation in his chest, burrowing further into his flesh as moments passed.
"Hurgh!" A mouthful of blood gushed out of his mouth as he saw a dark purple blade slowly pushing into his chest. The blade didn't touch his heart as if to make it more miserable for him rather than make it quick.
All the odic force in his body disappeared as if they were snuffed out like a candle. And after what felt like an eternity to him, his life was snuffed out in the same way as well before his body slid off the blade and collapsed on the floor.
